America’s future leader has a reputation for drawing a clear line between friends and foes and has had no shortage of spats with his opponents in 2016 – including several public rows on Twitter in his election year.

As well as stirring up tensions with the likes of China and Iran, his domestic political rivals, Hollywood A-listers and prominent US media figures have also been in the firing line.

Happy New Year to all, including to my many enemies and those who have fought me and lost so badly they just don’t know what to do. Love!

President Barack Obama has also been a target – the tycoon accused his administration of actively supporting the Islamist group that later became known as Islamic State.

Following last week’s UN Security Council call for an end to Israeli settlements, Mr Trump again voiced his support for Israel while criticising the Palestinian Authority for “refusing to stop the terror”.

Also on the President-elect’s list of geopolitical enemies is Iran, whose international nuclear agreement Mr Trump opposes.
